BOYER -- Phillip L. Boyer, 72, of Mountainair, NM, passed away September 21, 2006 at his travel home in Port Angles, WA. Phillip and his wife, Zona spent the summer there as they enjoyed visiting their sons and families living close by. Phillip Lee Boyer was born on May 16, 1934, the first of six children, to Rueben and Wanetta Boyer in Albuquerque, NM where he attended school, graduating from Albuquerque High in 1952. That same year, on September 27th he was united in marriage with Zona R. Dye also of Albuquerque. To this union were born two sons, Nelson and Michael. Phillip was always steadily employed in the demanding operations of heavy equipmen - and spent several years in Jackson Hole and Steamboat Springs as lift operator and maintenance counselor. Other employment included that with TIC where in Meeker, CO he worded at the CA Tract during the Shale Boom. Following, he joined TIC in operations at Challis, ID, then in California. His final employment was in Sacramento where he operated a cement pump truck for Associated Concrete, retiring there in 1997. He was always regarded as a loyal, dedicated and resourceful employee who valued efficiency and a high quality of workmanship. Following retirement Phillip and Zona returned to their roots - locating in Mountainair where they have completely restored a vintage home inside and out, including the beautiful grounds they have created. For Phillip Christmas was his favorite holiday and his wondrous works of art at their home during the holiday season have been a sight to behold and a joy for all to see. Their lovely home was decorated with thousands of lights up onto each of several gables - with Santa and his reindeer riding high above the roof top. Dozens of luminaries bordered the yard as a final touch to this fantasyland for which preparation began in October - lasting until dismantling in February. Meanwhile, with Zona's decorating talents and Phillip's help the inside of the home has been a picture book of holiday delight. Phillip was a quiet man, retiring from the spotlight, but with a depth those who knew him well so appreciated. He faced each of his numerous projects-some seemingly monumental with forethought, outlining in his mind just how he would achieve the desired results always with fastidious precision. His talent and advice will be greatly missed. Phillip had many hobbies too. He loved cars and knew how to take the best of care of them. He tied the most beautiful fishing flies much in demand for their outstanding performance. He was into converting 35mm and 16mm film onto VHS and DVD. He repaired old radios and VCRs - just for fun. He was a great music lover. Sometimes letting down his guard and belting out a few notes on his saxophone. Phillip was the epitome of the phrase - "Still Water Runs Deep." Phillip was ever devoted to his family and he highly regarded all of his many friendships. He is survived by his beloved wife of almost 54 years, Zona; sons, Nelson and wife, Hatae; Michael and wife, Theresa; eight grandchildren: Joe (Kim), Stacey (Richard), Becky (Gus), Amber and her mother Cathy, Ashley (Justin), Joshua, Jessica, and Zane; and seven great-grandchildren; his sisters, Marcia Smith, Diana (Paul) Beck, Linda (Gene) Riley; and brother, Paul. His parents and one brother, David Boyer preceded him death. In additional, Phillip will be sorely missed by his host friends across the country who mourns his passing. There will be a Memorial Service on October 7, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. at the Assembly of God campground in Mountainair, NM, a reception will follow at the Boyer home. Memorial Fund established at the Bank of Belen, 307 West Broadway, Mountainair, NM 87036. The Boyer home mailing address is PO Box 479 Mountainair, NM 87036.
